Honour, devotion, and duty; murder, abduction, and mayhem: all describe the experiences and activities of the medieval English noblewomen whose lives are explored in this volume of case studies. The range of sources available, from public documents to private papers, makes it possible for these women's individual lives to be revealed. Whether they were the wives, widows, and daughters of minor barons or attached to the greatest magnate lineages, noblewomen in the 13th and 14th centuries all shared the common experience of striving for recognition, security, and satisfaction in the "man's world" of medieval England.

Industry Reviews

"Linda E. Mitchell's work on women in medieval England is a well researched and interesting discussion of women and their relationship within marriage, family, and the community. The skillful use of a variety of sources makes this work useful and appropriate for specialists in the study of medieval women, as well as those just beginning their study of the medieval period...Mitchell's work is a welcome and timely addition to the discussion of women's roles within English medieval society." - Shawndra Holderby, The Historian
